Description

MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT - Lived Experiences services framework procurement on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement


NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) are supporting NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) on this project, to identify and engage with Suppliers who provide Lived Experience services, in particular those who support persons who have come in to contact with the health and justice sector, or might be at particular risk of in the future and / or their families and carers.
For clarity, the following sectors of health and justice are included:
• Liaison & Diversion
• Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs)
• Community Sentence Treatment Requirements
• Children & Young People
• Female prison estate
• Immigration Removal Centres (ICRs)
• Courts and healthcare
• Prisons.

We would like to invite these Providers interested parties to express their interest in Applying to be on the Lived Experiences services framework.
This framework would then be used to obtain service provision from in the future via "call-offs"; It is anticipated that "call-offs" (mini-competitions and direct awards, where allowed) would be undertaken to engage these then Framework Members in providing services. These "call-offs" would include further descriptions of the exact services to be commissioned.

All the terms and the anticipated process would be explained in a planned virtual event, run via WebEx, in the afternoon of Monday 29th June 2020. The details to register for this event are further on in this advert. WebEx is an application which is preferably run from a computer / laptop or performance-tablet, and not a smartphone. The audio will be presented via the web and not via a dial-in. We are able to test connectivity with you if you have not used WebEx before or would just like peace of mind prior to the event. There is no application ("app") to download prior to the event, but only when you join the event, or a test that you request, you must allow the app to "Run" by clicking so when prompted. Further instructions will be sent with your event invite.
